Meh. It was okay. This is a super-cozy paranormal romance series. It could totally classify as Juvenile with all the icky sweetness. At times it's been a nice change, but it was a bit too uber-sweet this time. Seriously... there were only 2 kisses in the whole book.

I love this series. It's a fun Harry Potter for adults. The characters are just so darn lovable. The romance was slightly disappointing in this as Owen is pretty standoffish at this point and Katie is stubborn as anything. I felt like this book was just another episode, different location. I'm hoping that the next book will lead us in a new and fresh direction. Still love this series though.

Okay, I'm pleading with you all - if you know anyone who likes well-written chick lit and Harry Potter, PLEASE buy them all 4 books in this series for the holidays. They are so great, so much fun, and I just read on the author's website that she has the 5th one almost finished, but the 3rd and 4th books haven't sold well enough yet for her publisher to promise publishing it.
This book starts off with our heroine, Katie, back home in Texas. She made the decision to leave New York, though that is where her heart is, so as not to distract her almost-boyfriend, who is the primary fighter for the good guys in a brewing magical war. Unfortunately, she can't seem to leave the magical world behind, even in her tiny hometown in Texas. A magical crime spree starts, but Katie's the only one in town who realizes it's magical. She calls her old company back in New York to alert them, and several of her pals end up in Texas, including Owen (who pretends to be her boyfriend for the sake of her family not being suspicious), and eventually Idris even shows up. Magical hijinks ensue, and Katie finds out even MORE of her family has magical connections. SO MUCH FUN.

I'll admit, I only vaguely remember what happened in book 3 (Damsel Under Stress) to lead to the events in this book, but it was pretty good nonetheless. Cute ending, and I love the idea of Katie's family being a magical genealogical anomaly. I can see where they could go with the next book, and I kind of hope they do, though there were no previews at the end, so I don't know if there is to be a 5th.

If you have read the other books in this series, you will not be disappointed. The only part that may disappoint you is that so far there is no Book 5 continuation of the story.
This book does not end is a huge cliffhanger like a previous book did so you will feel some satisfaction.
NOTE TO PUBLISHER: I WANT MORE OWEN AND KATIE!!!! please?
